Keep the electricity on at Murilo's home in Duque de Caxias
Murilo is behind on electricity bills after losing my job in August and needs $250 to avoid a shut-off.

The electricity account is 2 months behind. I received a disconnection notice that says service will be cut off on December unless I pay $250. I have never been late before losing my job in August.
I called the provider and asked about a payment plan, but they need a down payment of $45 first, which I don't have.
I live with a newborn, and going through the rainy season without electricity isn't safe. We can't cook, keep medicine cold or heat the home.
I'm working on getting back on my feet, and will pay forward whatever help I can once I'm steady.
The money will go directly to the utility provider, and I'll post the paid statement here.
Where the $250 goes:
• Electricity arrears: $120
• Reconnection and late fees: $40
• Down payment on a payment plan: $90

Updates from Murilo
We're at 38% thanks to 4 of you. I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts. More news soon.
Small update. $185 so far, I met with the utility company and confirmed the amounts.
Thank you all. We're at 96% now ($239). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward electricity arrears.
